Testimonials

‘All of the teams members we met, seem to on top of things. We always get the information and response we requested and didn’t have any problems.’

‘The team is very competent in administrative law and supports project development. They work on difficult topics under tight deadlines with great thoroughness.’

‘Mr. Schmelz sets the pace in meetings and negotiations due to his vast experience and thus supports the client’s concerns. Mr. Schlatter thoroughly works out the basics and always keeps the overview.’

‘When it comes to administrative and constitutional law, Schoenherr’s public law group is known as no 1 in the market. We fully understand why. They have unparalleled expertise not only in planning and environment, but also in many other fields of public law as well as in constitutional law.

‘What’s really stunning is their capabilities and expertise in environmental law and in permit proceedings. Their service is impressive. You get top legal advice within a very short time. They anticipate future questions or problems and solve them even before they arise. They are able to lead through very complex proceedings and lead large teams. They keep calm also in the most demanding situations. And in all circumstances they are friendly and charming. Their overall performance is simply extraordinary.’

‘Christian Schmelz, who is leading the team, is probably the most regarded practitioner in this field and regarded as the “doyen” of public law. He is at the forefront of all new developments in public and environmental law and also in political or ecological developments. He is simply outstanding: his technical and ecological competence is extraordinary high; he is excellent in negotiations and his “social competence” is very high; he is available around the clock, very effective and quick; he is innovative; his approach is solution oriented, his advice “to the point”. All in all: I can’t imagine him doing anything better.’

‘I want to stress that Christian Schmelz has created a team of exceptionally professional lawyers. Every one of them is outstanding. Each of them delivers excellent quality in shortest time frames and has extraordinary high legal, social and technical competences.’
